MFJ 1234

Hi.
Just wondering if anyone has used the MFJ 1234 Server with a K3S? I'm thinking of purchasing one but I'd like to hear from anyone with experience of using it.

Hi Jim
I bought a 1234 in March of 2020. I am using this iPhone 10 XR and NO-IP to control it from remote locations. CW worked right away and SSB needed three menu changes to the K3S. The monitor for SSB must be set to minimum, MIC+LIN must be set to off and MIC SEL must be set to LInE In. I have checked into the Sunday morning 160 meter net remotely and everyone says it sounds fine. One thing I like a lot is the 15 macros I have been able to write into the 1234 to allow me to make changes remotely in the event I forget to do it before I go. I work 160 SSB and CW on 80 - 10. I can change antennas on the K3S and tune them from the remote. 160 uses a dipole and the rest of the bands a vertical. Good luck. I had another remote but quit using it years ago because I had to always change several cables and it did not have many Macros. This one lets me change and get on the air anyplace with my phone as long as the K3S is on. Ken W0CZ.

How do you turn the K3S on?

Turning on the K3S is the one problem I have. I have to make sure it is on when I go. I would need another program to apply a ground momentarly to a pin of the K3S. I know there are programs that can do that but in my case it is not worth it to me to do it. If the home AC blinks than I am off the air until I get home. I could make a delay timer to apply a ground pulse say in about an hour after the power returns or some kind of remote pulse for my land line but ???

I've used (successfully) a USB relay to momentarily toggle AUX line 8 (?
check) to remotely power the K3 on but now I've switched to the N6TV S-Box-USB and Y-Box system, which works in much the same way (and can remotely power on the Elecraft amps, cleans up cabling etc.). Both methods require a computer that runs the 'turn on' file in bootup, OR being able to access that file from the main screen. I have no problem leaving the station on at all times. For whatever reason, only when I was > 1000 miles away did the power blip and the K3 wasn't there. It got old to have someone go in, just to turn the radio off. These methods took away that worry. Even something as 'silly' as a Raspberry Pi toggling that AUX line once every XX minutes would work (and could provide other features). 73, Rick NK7I On 6/14/2020 1:44 PM, Kenneth Christiansen wrote: > Turning on the K3S is the one problem I have.

Been there done that. In one word - DON’T. RigPi only gives you remote control of VFO. All other radio control is via on/off functions that you have to program in code. Audio is iffy at best using mumble. This thing is a compilation of free software loosely glued together under a slick looking web interface. I sold mine at a $75 loss just to get rid of it. You can setup a Pi with Flrig and other programs and have more control for free.
